PREFACE.
ENGLISHMEN, Frenchmen, Germans, Italians, and Spaniards, fire
of course primarily interested in the study of their own languages
and literatures ; but no educated man in Christendom will
hesitate to declare that the study of Greek and Latin is of the
next importance. It is hardly worth while to discuss the views
of the people who — especially in England — seek to decry the
educational value of " the classics," and who would dismiss them
from the place of honour in our schools. All modern literatures,
like a great many modern institutions, are framed upon a Greek
or Grseco-Roinan plan. The canons of taste which the Greeks
invented and the Romans accepted, have never ceased to guide
and control literary composition in all the vernacular tongues.
Consciously or unconsciously, the poet, the historian, the
philosopher, has measured his own excellence by a comparison
with the work of ancient writers; and the form in which his
thoughts have taken shape has been borrowed, with little
modification, from the models set by the Greeks. To the
Romans, with whom our connexion was immediate, we owe
the rudiments of that education, and a large residuum of Roman
ideas and Latin phrases in our modern tongues has rendered a
knowledge of the Latin language indispensable for research into
the history of any portion of our national life and culture.
But the true beginning is with the Greeks. They taught us
PREFACE.
all — both Romans and moderns — how to think, how to observe,
how to speak, how to write, and how to reproduce the beauty
of sound and form. They may have borrowed, as we know
they did, something from the civilisations of Egypt and Assyria,
but what they received they transmuted and made their own.
The sense of wonder and curiosity which conies over us when
we look at the grandiose designs of Egyptian and Assyrian art,
is utterly unlike the charm which we feel in even the homeliest
and least pretentious examples of Greek work. It is not to
be denied that the two ancient empires possessed what we should
call authors or literary men, and the remains of their historical
labours are valuable, but we cannot look to hieroglyphic or
cuneiform inscriptions for literary art, for those exquisite com-
binations of sound and sense which we find in the classical
writers, and which, in our affiliated literatures, constitute the
charm of Shakespeare and Goethe and Dante and Ruskin and
Hugo. To the Greeks, in fine, modern culture owes its existence.
Without them our English, French, German, Italian, and
Spanish literatures might have become as the Chinese or the
Etruscan — methods of communicating intelligence without any
of the graces and melodies of eloquence or style.
In the cultivation of scientific research, and in the applica-
tions of science, we have gone far beyond the Graeco-Romans ;
yet even in these things, as in matters of mental speculation, we
have to resort to them for our terminology. In almost all
other branches of intellectual effort, we are satisfied to be their
rivals, not to excel them. If we were to follow the advice of a
certain utilitarian sect, arid drop our acquaintance with the
tongues of Greece and Rome, we should not only lose the most
vi PREFACE.
precious and stimulating of all mental exercises and enjoyments,
but we should be unable to understand and enjoy completely
our own old literature. A favourite book with English and
American readers is Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, the
greatest charm of which is its apt citation and incorporation of
classical texts. It is painful to imagine the case of the man
who is obliged to skip the quotations. Apart from the con-
sideration of works like Burton, we must admit that words,
ideas, myths, legends, proverbs, allusions, which can only be
rightly comprehended by those who are acquainted with Greek
and Latin, have passed in such measureless abundance into our
literature that it would be stupid, if it were riot impossible, to
break up the old wise system of education that makes Homer
and Virgil indispensable in our schools.
Greek and Latin are, not quite correctly, called dead
languages, but death has not impaired the vigour of their
influence. The most highly educated nation will always be the
foremost in the world's history, and the country in which Ca3sar,
Thucydides, Plato, Tacitus, Cicero, .ZEschylus, and Homer are
most carefully studied will always be the most highly educated.
This does not imply an exclusive attention to the ancients, but
rather the contrary ; for it may safely be alleged, in the words of
a shrewd observer of our own time, that the man who knows
Greek and Latin, knows a great deal besides. The mind is more
enlarged by a classical education, and more prepared for the
reception of enlightenment all round, than any quantity of
instruction in contemporary foreign languages could make it.
In the ensuing catalogue it will be seen, by the number and
the pecuniary value of the books described, that the writer has no
PREFACE. vii
faith in any likelihood of a diminution in classical learning. Here
we have the first editions of many famous Greek works, including
a superb copy of the Homer of 1488, the Orpheus of 1500 ;
^schylus, Euripides, Aristophanes ; Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch ;
Euclid, Ptolemy the geographer, and Strabo ; Herodotus (the
father of History), Thucydides, Diodorus Siculus, Dion Cassius ;
Demosthenes and Isocrates ; Theophrastus and Diogenes Laertius ;
the Anacreontica, the Anthologia, Lucian, Apollonius Rhodius,
Quintus Calaber, Longus, Heliodorus; besides many early
editions of other great Hellenic writers. Among the Latins,
there are the first editions of Platitus, Terence, and Seneca the
tragedian, besides two MSS. of Terence ; the second edition of
Catullus, Tibullus, and Propertius ; the first editions of Ovid,
Juvenal and Persius ; the first dated Lucretius ; three of the
earliest impressions of Lucian ; the first editions of Valerius
Flaccus, Claudian and Silius Italicus ; two MSS. of Virgil and an
early commentary, besides the first Aldine edition of 1501 ; five
early editions of Horace, the first of which is probably the Princeps,
besides the Aldine impression of 1501 ; an illuminated MS. of
Martial and an early edition printed about 1472 ; the first edition
of the astronomical poem of Manilius ; the first editions of Caesar,
Cornelius Nepos, Tacitus (with the two succeeding editiones
primariae) ; the first editions of Justin, Quintus Curtius, Solinus,
Ammianus Marcellinus, and Valerius Maximus (the undated
impression of about 1469 and the two dated 1471) ; an undated
edition of Sallust printed about 1470, the first dated Livy of 1470,
and the Suetonius of 1471, and a splendid MS. of Cassiodorus
which belonged to Leo X ; the first editions of Apuleius,
Lactantius, Macrobius, and Petronius ; of Aulus Gellius, Priscian,
viii PREFACE.
and Varro ; the Quintilian of 1470 ; the first edition of Seneca
(Naples, 1475), the Pliny of Eome, 1470, and Jenson's edition of
1472 printed on vellum ; the Officia of Cicero printed on vellum
at Mentz in 1466, the two editions of Cicero's Letters printed at
Venice in 1469, the Orationes Philippicae printed by Ulrich Hahn
(1469). Besides these may be mentioned the Ci vitas Dei of
St. Augustine printed at Strassburg not later than 1468 ; an
early MS. of his Confessions ; the first editions of the De Arte
Predicandi and the Vita Christiana, both printed about 1465.
No private amateur, of course, would need to fill his shelves
with all the books in this catalogue ; but it would probably be
found useful by the heads of new libraries, or the syndicates of
new Universities, to load themselves with a certain quantity of
duplicates and extravagantia, in order to possess the nucleus of a
full collection of those early impressions of classical texts which
are equivalent at the present day to so many MS. codices. The
possession of a large number of the Editiones Principes of the
Greek and Latin classics would bestow an amount of distinction,
not otherwise to be obtained, upon the newer scholastic institu-
tions of our time.

A book of extreme rarity and of no less artistic value. The woodcuts are believed
to be from the hands of the same designer and wood-engraver as worked on the
Valturio of 1472, and Giovanni Aluise is identified with the Joannes ex Verona who
printed that book. Dr. Lippmann says, " There must have been extraordinary merit in
the designs from which so much spirit and vivacity have been preserved in transmission
through the woodblock."
Fables 1-60 are the same as those of the Galfridus in Books 1-3 of Koburger's
edition. The remaining six (61-66) are from Poggio and elsewhere.

Valverdale in old Castile, founded in 1169.
The office of a Saint is added in a fourteenth-century hand on the fly-leaf at the
end, and signed " Vgo frey ". One of the invocations is " a morte sbpitania " — the last
word being Spanish Latin for subitanea.
The binding of this volume, a whitish or dun-coloured deerskin covering two thick
wooden boards, with strong inner bands on the back — is the oldest example of book-
binding in my possession, being not later than the year 1200.

The first book which bears the name of Mentelin as a printer. It was reprinted by
Fust at Mentz, with the substitution of his own name for Mentelin's ; and as Fust died
in 1466, the above piece cannot be assigned to a later date than 1465-66. It is bound
up with the Homilise Chrysostomi (Traductio libror' Sancti lohannis crisostomi etc.)

A VERY RARE EDITION, printed in small gothic letters, without marks of any
kind. It bears no name of printer, nor place of impression : but was produced by
Conrad Fyner at the first press of Esslingen.
The excessive rarity of this edition is best shown by the citation which
M. Deschamps gives from the preface to the Delphin edition of Caesar. There the
editor states that although he had sedulously inquired for it in all the most eminent
libraries of his time, he was unable to find a copy.
A MS. note on the first page written about 1473-74 records ownership by the
Monastery of St. Mary of the Martyrs near Treves on the Moselle.

and reverse of cover ; in a red morocco case (1513) 200
An inscription on a scroll which binds two green branches en
sautoir in the border reads thus, revient de cetelles. This French
phrase refers to the Pope's return some time in 1513, from Civita
Yecchia (Centocelle, Cencelle, Centelle) (probably after the visit to
Tuscany made in the first year of his pontificate). — The ~N, which
stands above the device of a bow with the motto Suave, was dropped
by him at a latter date.

The SECOND KDITION of the COLLECTED WORKS of these FOUR POETS, and of
OREAT RARITY. It begins on the reverse of leaf 1 with the life of Tibullus, followed
by his poems, which end on the reverse of the thirty-first leaf. (A thirty-second blank one
has been cut away by the binder.) A leaf follows, containing on its reverse a brief
summary of the life of Catullus, occupying 11 lines only. The poems of Catullus then
begin on the obverse of the next leaf and occupy 34 11. ; next comes a blank leaf ; on the
reverse of the next is the life of Proper-tins, followed on the obverse of the succeeding leaf
by his poems, which occupy 59 11. ; at the end of Propertius is the imprinf. from which
the above title and colophon are taken ; with the date given in Arabic, not Roman,
numerals. Statius follows, and occupies the remaining 59 11., with a blank one at the
end. The total number of leaves in a complete copy is therefore 188 (including three
blank ones), and not 182 as Brunet says. The three leaves containing the lives of
Catullus, Tibullus, and Propertius are often wanting, as they must have been to the
copy described by Brunet. There are some remains of stamped signatures in the
Propertius in this copy, but none in the other books.

Very rare. A very early specimen of the press at Reggio, as printing was only
introduced there during the previous year. M. Deschamps in mentioning this edition
omits the name of Mazali. He then says that the first book printed by him at Reggio
was the Virgil of 1482. The fact is that the Catullus, etc., was printed before Mazali
established an independent press there. The present is a good copy, with the initials
painted in red and blue.

A RARE EDITION, finely printed in Roman letter. The first page in this copy is
illuminated, and the capitals painted in blue. It contains 145 11. only : a-x in eights
and sixes, except sheet q, which is in seven leaves, but nothing is wanting (the absent
leaf was the sixth of that sheet, strange to say, and could only have been blank, as there
is no hiatus in the text which runs continuously from the fifth to the seventh leaf of q).
This copy according to Brunet wants three separate leaves at the end which should
contain some verses by the editor. Calphurnius boasts to have so corrected the text,
as compared with the edition of 1475, that the poets might seem to be published for the
first time.

The Greek is in the same type as was used in the Ximenez Polyglot a few years

page, to the students at Alcala. He states that he had come to Spain at the request
of the Cardinal, and that he had discovered a total lack of Greek books there.

4to. Manuscript on Vellum, Mommsen's Didotian
Codex, written in clear Carolingian characters. Bound
in olive morocco extra, gilt edges, by Duru Sec. ix 150 0 0
This interesting and valuable codex is the one described by Mommsen,
in an article " de Laelii Ciceroniani codice Didotiano," in the Museum
fur Philologie (1862, vol. xviii). It is considered to be of great
importance for the criticism of the text. Classical MSS. of early date
are amongst the rarest of all books, and a single specimen of this kind
adds dignity to even the richest library. It was probably -written in
Eastern France in the time of Charles the Bald.
On the obverse of folio 32, under the words " Explicit liber
Tullii," there is a pen-and-ink drawing by the original scribe of a stand-
ing figure and a head ; rude enough in execution, but still indicating
by costume and the fashion of wearing the hair, the age and topo-
graphical origin of the MS. Then there follows on the reverse of the
same leaf the collection of sentences (arranged in alphabetical order)
which is assigned in the headline to Seneca, but which ought rather
to be ascribed to various authorship, since, as Mommsen points out, one
of the sentences is by Publius Syrus and others are later than Seneca's
time. There are about 450 sentences, each occupying a single line, and
they end on the obverse of the last leaf. Beneath the "explicit," in
the same hand by which the rest of the book was written, we read
these words : —
" Incipiunt versi
0 mortalis homo, mortis reminiscere casus ;
Nil pecude distas, tantum si prospere captas."
Two leaves are missing in the volume, one between folios 24-25,
and the other between folios 28-29. The sixth leaf is misplaced by the
binder between folios 1, 2.

leaves, as Brunet remarks, but four (not two) of those leaves are wholly blank.

it as containing 132 leaves, and chides Brunei for making it 133.

The first leaf is of a different impression from the preceding copy, but in all other
respects the two copies are alike. The existence of this diversity has never been
noticed before, but it is curious as proving that there were two issues, and that the first
two pages are of different composition. In this, which seems to be the earlier of the two,
the heading on page 1 runs thus : —

Mario Maffeo, the grandfather of Cardinal Maffei, and the ancestor of Scipione
Maffei, was apparently both the owner and the transcriber of this MS. — The two works
in the volume are in some respects the most interesting productions of the great Roman
orator. The first is a sort of sketch of the history of oratory amongst the Romans, and
the second treats of the studies and methods by which the highest successes were won.

A very rare edition, containing 108 leaves, having 32 lines to a full page. Dibdin
attributes it to Vindelin de Spira, the type being similar to that used by him in his
edition of Cicero's offices, 1470. This, however, is incorrect as the type is slightly smaller
in size than Vindelin's.

An extremely rare edition, so seldom seen formerly that it was stated by Laire to

The fourth book of Floras ends on the reverse of the twenty-fourth folio. The
remaining five leaves are occupied by [JORDAXUS] de comendacoe Roman! imperil, a
celebrated treatise, of which this is the first edition.
The want of adjustment of the type at the ends of the lines (which are qnite
irregular throughout) proves that this was one of Ther Hoernen's earliest experiments
in printing.

Presentation copy to the Abbey of S. Maria ad Gratias at Neustift in the Tyrol,
from Eleanor of Scotland, Archduchess of Austria and Countess of Tyrol. This
appears from a MS. inscription in each volume, which must have been written not later
than 1479, as the Scottish princess died in 1480.
This rare edition (formerly referred to Jacobus Rubeus at Venice, and Ulrich
Hahn at Rome) is DOW generally assigned to Sixtus Riessinger at Naples. The type
seems certainly to be the same as was used by him ; but whence comes the inscription
at the end, " la. Ru." ?
The copy is in singularly fine condition.

seen of the rare first edition of Homer's Works. It is in the same
sound fresh and crisp condition as when it was bound about three

hundred and fifty years ago, and has never undergone any sophistica-
tion whatever.
Bernardus Nerlius, in the dedication, praises the liberality of his
brother Nerius, the help of Joannes Acciaoli, the dexterity of Deme-
trius the Cretan, and the editorial labours of Demetrius Chalcondylas.
Oswald von Eck (Egkh) was the owner of this Homer about 1550.
His signature is written on the first leaf of the preface to the Iliad.
(He published an edition of the Alexandreis of Gautier de Chatillon
in 1541.)

This is the edition described by Brunet in his note upon the other undated edition
which usually passes for the Princeps. It is certainly not printed in types resembling
(as he asserts) those of the Milan Horace by Lavagna of 1476 ;— the type here being
distinctly broader in body and occupying more space laterally. The arrangement of
the sheets in the copy from which Brunet took his collation was different from what we
have here, the position of the Epistles and the Satires being reversed. It is for that
reason that the blank leaf which for him was folio 100, is here folio 124 (pp. 247-48).
It is worthy of remark that the ae and co diphthongs are printed throughout in their
combined form, not as separate letters, a most unusual circumstance in a book so early
as this.
In the Epistle to Albinovanus the word on the tenth line which is usually printed
arcere is here urgere. This helps to show the anteriority of the book to the Lavagna
edition of 1476 which resembles it and is yet in general not so correct.
A MS. note records the ownership of the volume in the sixteenth century, by
Marco Maffei.

496 IAMBLICHUS de mysteriis Aegyptiorum. Chaldeeorum. Assyriorum.
Proclus in Platonicum alcibiadem deanima, atq ; daemone . . . (Latine),
sm. folio, Editio Princeps, a fine and very large copy (315x212 milli-
metres) from the libraries successively of Bilibald Pirkheimer, Lord
Thomas Arundel, Henry Sixth, Duke of Norfolk, the Bayal Society, and
Mr. W. C. Borlase Venetiis . . M.IHD. In wdibus Aldi. (1497)
It is an instance of Pirkheimer's careful study of his books that several headings
in this volume which were erroneously printed are corrected in his large deliberate
handwriting.
The Greek texts of these works were not printed till long afterwards. Marsilius
Picinus made this compilation in Latin from as many Greek treatises upon metaphysical
and philosophical subjects as were known to him ; and added to it his own hook " De
Voluptate," as the last article in the volume. The dedication is to Giovanni Medici,
the boy-Cardinal who was to be Leo X.

This extremely rare book was produced by the first printer of Speyer, not earlier
than 1473, as is manifest from the use of printed signatures in the volume (a — k). It
seems certain that he was not Peter Drach who is usually styled the prototypographer
of that city.

morocco gilt ; probably by Padeloup. The Comte de Toulouse was the son of Madame
de Montespan, but was legitimised by Louis XIII. His library at Rambonillet was a
celebrated collection of books.

The book, or books — for they have been regarded as separately issued — hare neither

Altogether 70 leaves, 33 lines to the page ; with signatures. The full number was
72, but the first and the last leaf having been blanks were cut away by the binder.
This rare edition was only known to Brunet through the description in the Pinelli
catalogue. The letters M.M. A.S.M., quoted above, were considered by Panzer and
others to stand for the name of Marcus Antonins Sabellicus, but that is a mere guess.
The last M must be a local appellative, and would not suit Sabellico, who, at the time
this book was printed, would have written his initials M.A.C.V. or M. A.C.S.V.

. This volume is one of the documents upon which the history of Printing is based.
The dedication to the Emperor Maximilian ends with the following statement relating
to Mentz : —
In which town, also, the wondrous art of Printing was originally invented, firstly
by the ingenious Johann Qutteribergk, 1450 years as it is counted from the birth of our
lord Christ ; and thereafter improved and made permanent by the diligence, cost, and
labour of John Faust and Peter Schoffer at Mentz, etc.
This statement, emanating perhaps from Ivo Wittig, but evidently sanctioned if
not composed by the printer, has a distinct value, as showing that, in 1505 (the year
in which this Livy first appeared), Johann Schoffer, the son of Peter Schoffer and
the grandson of Fust, was not under the influence of any family tradition which could
invalidate the priority of Guttenberg. The assertions which began to crop up in later
books produced by John Schoffer, — that Fust, and not Guttenberg, was the inventor of
printing— are thus shown to be figments of comparatively late fabrication.

VERT RARE. It is generally recognised as the second edition of Lucan, the first
having been printed at Rome in 1469. This, however, is an independent edition, not a
reprint of the Roman, and has its distinct textual value, having been the parent text of
several editions. The attribution to Renner is borrowed from Hain, who was probably
wrong. The text has forty lines to each full page, and a peculiarity of the typography
is the small e, in which the horizontal line is produced some distance beyond the close
of the curve. There are no signatures or numerals.

Reprinted from the prior edition, but omitting the verses " Cum genero ". This is
also a very rare edition. It has thirty-five lines per page, and bears signatures a — n in

been placed as preliminaries, in the same way as they appeared in the prior edition.

metre, here are four lines —

And to the world this boorie dost give

probably as early as the beginning of the century.

and the Fasti which he did not know of.

The margins contain numerous manuscript notes and many clever pen-and-ink
drawings, especially in the third volume. — The notes, having been found in a sixteenth
century book were of course declared by Mr. Leigh Sotheby to be Melanchthon's, and
consequently the Drawings also were by him. They were probably done by
" Theodorus de Pleningen " who possessed the book in 1540.

the book, not as Brunei states 166 + 247 n 413. He evidently knew nothing of the
three blank leaves here specified, and his calculation of the number of printed leaves in
the second part is wrong. It should be 248, not 247.

There are signatures, in which leaf f 5 is cut out. It was, strange to say, a blank
in the middle of a sheet. Nothing is wanting. The Fragmentum of Petronius is the

Impressum Fani ab Hieronymo Soncino . . Jtf.Z>.XF(1515)
The Latin epitome of Homer has frequently been ascribed, very singularly, to
Pindar the Theban ; and the editor here, Franciscus Polyardus, makes no allusion to
the absurdity. — The publisher in a couple of neat lines draws attention to the fact that
the mighty Homer wrote in Greek letters, while this little Homer made his appearance
in Italic.

Western Ocean, and to the expeditions of the Portuguese in the East.

Impresse fuere opera 8f impendio loannis de Colonia Agripinensi ;

A very clean, sound and desirable copy. The initials are rubricated throughout,
and many of them painted in elegant style. On the last leaf there is a contemporary
MS. note to the effect that this volume was presented to the Monastery of St. John
Baptist de Viridaria at Padua by Petrus Montagnana, in 1478.

motto, " Fiel pero desdichado " (Sine nota) 10 0 0
This excessively rare edition was printed somewhere in the north of Italy about
the year 1473-4. It looks even older, but as it has signatures it cannot be earlier than
1472. So far as I can learn, the vellum copy in the Paris National Library is the only
other one recorded. Brunei copies Van Praet's account, aud none of the other
standard bibliographers have mentioned it.

MSS. of Solinus and Pomponins Mela (the two great authorities in ancient Roman
geography) very seldom come into the market. This codex will supply many useful
variants to a new editor of those works. — The Anonymi descriptio is a letter written in
the first half of the fifteenth century by some Genoese scholar. It was addressed to a
friend at the Roman court.

Giorgio Merula of Alessandria in North Italy was a great scholar and published
several books besides this. He had been a pupil of Philelphus. In an address to the
printer on the second last leaf he suggests that Bottoni might say of himself " I have
been the first man in Italy to use signatures in books, and the first (novus) bookseller in
Rcggio."

It is unknown where this beautifully printed volume was produced, and to whom
the initials A. R. should be attributed. Adam Rot, or Rotvil, was printing at Rome
at the time this book is supposed to have appeared ; a few years later he removed his
press to Aquila in Naples. He may have been the proprietor of those two initials.
The copy is marked as belonging (about 1550) to the Locus Sti. Pauli Montis at
Bologna.

This edition is alluded to by Brunei in doubtful terms as being probably supposititious.
Its great rarity accounts for the ignorance of the bibliographers. It is not an edition
of the Works of Statius, but contains exactly the same matter as Pannartz' edition of
the Sylvse above described. The volume consists of 102 leaves with signatures a-m,
A-C, of which d, g, h, k, 1, m, B, are in six leaves each, C in four, and the rest in
eights.

The contents are as follows : (Annals, Books XI-XV1) ; (Historia), five books ;
Germania ; Dialogus de Oratoribus.
This first edition of Tacitus, which was also the first book printed independently
by Vindelin of Speyer, is naturally very much in request and is correspondingly rare.
The use of printed catchwords is seen here for the first time.

The work is supposed to have been printed at Milan (probably by Valdarfer) as
Puteolanus resided in that my. and in his dedication expressly asserts "nostris
impressoribus tradidimus.'' It contains 187 leaves, of which 2 are blank.
In ihis edition there are headings to the historical books, in which they are
represented as being Books XI-XXI of the Actiones Diurnales instead of Annales
XI-XVI and Historiae I-V. Then follow the GerniHiiia and the Dinlojjus, and finally
the AGRICOLA, which was printed for the first time in this edition. The last page or so
of the Historia was also additional beyond the contents of Vindelin' s volume.

throughout the volume. It belonged to Charles Scott in 1698, and afterwards to the
Reverend Nicholas Bacon of Coddenham, for whom probably it was bound.

Only two copies are known, and this is THE ONLY PERFECT ONE. The other,
which was Lord Spencer's, and is now in the Rylands library, is imperfect, wanting
six leaves. The attribution of the book by Dibdin to a Brescia press, or by Lord
Spencer to a Naples press (see Bibl. Spenceriana), is futile, and seems to be based
merely on the observation that the capitals resemble those in Kiesinger's small Neapolitan
type, while the ordinary characters are like those in an Aretino which has been thought
to be the first book printed at Brescia. — The Q, M, N, and R, are peculiar letters.
The Q is like an 0 with the left curve produced horizontally to some distance beyond
the juncture with the other curve, and only Capering away downwards. The M is
always like a reversed W ; the N has its two straight strokes heavy and the oblique
one light. The R resembles the Gothic R of Mentelin more than it does the regular
Roman K of an Italian press.
The text is wholly printed in prose.

According to Brunei, only two other copies are known, namely that in the Rylands
library (perfect) and that in the Laurentian library (imperfect). The above copy,
which was Lord Crawford's, is not only perfect but is also in wonderfully fine condition.
A singularity to be remarked is the use of minute manuscript signatures, which
begin not with a, but with p, and run on thus — p in ten leaves, q — z in eights, and four
additional signatures in eight and six alternately. Thus the volume is shown to have
consisted of 102 leaves, of which the first and last being blank, have been cut away.

This excessively rare edition (which is about the earliest instance of a book pro-
fessedly edited with textual criticism) is divided by Brnnet into two — an error for
which there is some excuse, if there really are copies with differing subscriptions.
The subscription in this copy is
Terentii Aphri Carthaginensis Comedia
sexta & ultima per Angela Sabinii Poe.
lau. limatior fafta finit foeliciter.
Brunet gives this subscription in his account of one kind of copy, and a different
one to another kind ( — treating them as two different editions), the latter containing the
name of Joannes II vgo de Gengenbach as printer. It is, of course, possible that the book
was issued or printed twice by the typographer, and that his first issue bore no name.

The great popularity of Terence in the early days of printing may be imagined
from the fact that about forty editions were produced during the decade between 1470
and 1480 ; and that all those editions are now very rare.

The binding is curious and remarkably well preserved. It was probably the second
covering of the volume, as the gilding and goffering of the edges appear to be Venetian
work, and accompanied, perhaps, a different binding. On the second leaf there is an

title-page. The book was rebound as a school-premium from the College Mazarin
some fifty years later. The arms then impressed on the sides were cut off by Roger
Payne when be rebound the volume for Sir John Thorold, but preserved as above
described.

" Cette Edition rarissime a ete faite sur un tres-bon manuscrit." — Graesse. Not-
withstanding this there are two curious blunders on the first page : ne for ut, and nihil
for mihi, — which pervert the author's intention sadly.
A MS. note in Dunn Gardner's copy was dated in the early part of 1470 ; a circum-
stance which justifies Brunei's conjecture of 1469 as the date of the printing.
A MS. note at the endof this copy shows that the rubrication was finished by
loannes Gossolt, vie. Aug. on the eve of Easter 1471. This is further proof of the
priority of Mentelin's edition to that printed at Mentz by Schoeffer in the same year,
on the eighteenth of the Kalends of July (14 June).

by Ulrich Zell at Cologne about 1472-3, but which in the Askew Catalogue, and by

the hull's head surmounted by a star, a long anchor, and a figure which seems intended
for a crescent.
The attempts made in three German cities to introduce Roman types must have
all been posterior to the creation of Roman types at Rome in 1467. They speedily gave
way before the popular Gothic taste. This book may be alleged to have been printed
between 1469 and 1476. The assertions that two of the R-books have been seen bearing
manuscript notes dated respecti/ely 1464 and 1467 cannot be accepted without a very
particular scrutiny.

VERY RARE first edition of Varro's celebrated treatises on the Latin tongue. The
Sunderland copy fetched £17. 10$. Brnnet commits a double error in stating that the
number of leaves is 82, and that the colophon is on the recto of the last leaf : that in-
scription being on the verso of leaf 81 which is the last. A peculiarity of the impression,
which has neither signatures nor catchwords, is that leaves 11-42 of the text (i.e. 20-51
of the volume) are numbered at the top in small Roman numerals. There are thirty-
two lines per page. The Analogia, preceded by nine leaves of dedication (from Pom-
ponius Lastus) and table, stands before the origo in this edition.

VERY RARE. There are 58 leaves, and the number of lines in each page varies,
there being sometimes 38, frequently 37, and more frequently 35. There is no pre-
liminary matter, and the origo is the first of the two parts in this edition, which from
the rudeness of the impression and the absence of editorial introduction, might perhaps
be considered anterior to Lauer's edition.

This very rare volume is beautifully printed in types that resemble Vindelinus de
Spira's Gothic work, and proves that Sigmund Rodt was a master of his craft. The
passage on fol. 33 beginning as above Non sunt passi, goes on to state that the editors
were the ingenui adolescentes Sebastian and Raphael de Orlandis, who seem to have
imagined that they were rescuing Vegetins from oblivion, and giving an editio princcps
to the world.

and encircled by the collar of the Golden Fleece, both in gold ; and
underneath the hanging sheep is the name " Mansfelt." This prince
lived from 1517 to 1604, and spent the last ten years of his life
among his books and art-treasures. He had been a general of no email
renown in the wars between France and the Empire, but he was taken
by the French in 1552 and kept in captivity for five years, during
whick he had time to cultivate his military talents by reading Vegetius
and Valturius, and perhaps getting them bound for him.
1064 VIRGILIUS MARO (Publius). OPERA: ^Eneis; "Bucolica ; Georgica,

A few contemporaneous glosses, written here and there in very minute characters,
reveal the ownership of a great scholar, who has marked corrections and various
readings as well. In the twelfth book of the JEneid there is a lacuna from verse 392 to
the end, but this circumstance detracts very slightly indeed from the value of the Manu-
script, which as a fifteenth-century codex of one of the great poems of antiquity must
always be an object of interest and importance.

A charming book, inside and outside. In the border on the first page, which con-
sists of branchy interlacements and convolutions in the old Italian style, a portrait of
Virgil is found, as well as the shield on which the arms of the first possessor were
emblazoned. These have been effaced. The shield is encircled by a ring of gold,
distinctly a finger-ring, not a mere circlet.
The various books of the poem are preceded by summaries in verse, attributed to
Ovid.

was printed somewhere in Germany, but the exact place is uncertain. The autograph
of Hieronymus Baumgartner, dated 1516 at Auripoli [Ingolstadt ?] which appears on
the title is curious in beginning with the words •' A di 8 Decembr." in Italian style.

Both these works — the Encomium Morise and the Opuscula — are amongst the
rarest volumes of Aldine typography. There is an escutcheon painted on the blank
leaf preceding the dedication of the first book — gueules, un chevron or, accom-
pagne" de trois trifles, deux et un. Two angels winged like peacocks are the supporters,
and a monogram beneath seems to be composed of the letters Kane, or Ranee, or
France. The same monogram is worked in the goffering of the edges. A later owner
was B. H. de Fourcy whose bookplate is pasted within the cover.

The preliminary letter of Fichet to the Prior of the Sorbonne was printed and
prefixed by the typographers to the work they had just finished and sent to him in
proof state. Addressing the Prior of the Sorbonne he says — " Thou hast newly sent
me the most suave letters of Gasparinns Pergamensis, not only corrected carefully by
thee, but also trimly and neatly transcribed by the German printers." The eight
verses which serve as a colophon at the end may be rendered thus —
As the sun sheds light, so dost tlioti pour learning on the world.
Nurse of the Muses, royal Paris !
Take therefore Thon, deserving, the nigh-divine
Art which Germany learned.
Lo here ! the first books which that craft has wrought
In the lands of the Franks, and in thy mansions.
The masters Michael, Ulric, and Martin,
Have printed these books, and will also print others.

A most singular book for a priest to write. It is in the form of a dialogne between
three friends of classical tastes, and though meant rather for a work of literature than
of moral, it deals with many curious matters. One chapter discusses An peccet qui
coactus coierit — an extraordinary hypothesis of compulsion.

The Imitation begins with an intitulation, which says of it, " quod falso apud
vulgares Gersoni Parisiensi Cancellario impingitur." This is the first edition of the
complete works of Kempis, and was given to the press by Peter Dannhausser, impelled
thereto by a reproachful monition from Prior Georg Pirckamer. The letters between
them are given as prefaces to the text.

but did not return with him, being one of the twenty-four men whom the Florentine

deceived many eyes. The basis of the straight stem of that letter is horizontal and
perfect in this book ; in Mentelin's it is imperfect and falls obliquely inward.

The words " Pour Monsieur Vincent " are written on the title-page. This Mr.
Vincent was perhaps the person who has written at the foot of the portrait the following

This picture which you see my face doth show —

large copy, in old calf gilt, VERY BARE S.'n. [Venet. Vindelin, circ. 1470] 880
This edition of the Doctrinale of Alexander Callus consists of 47 leaves, of 28
lines to a page, without numbers, signatures, or catchwords. The type bears a resem-
blance to that of Vindelinus de Spira. Another edition of this work, printed at about
the same time, consisting of 45 leaves, of 30 lines to a page, without catchwords,
signatures or numbers, and without date or printer's name, was sold in the Sunderland
Sale for £41. The present edition seems to be undescribed by bibliographers.
Bound in at the end is a copy of the Opusculum de Bombyce of Lud. Lazarellus
consisting of 6 leaves, 25 lines to a page, with the signatures a i, a ii and a iii on the
first 3 leaves. According to Brunet the book is of extreme rarity.
1246 ALEXANDER DE VILLA DEL A single leaf of Velhun, containing a frag-
ment (32 lines on obverse, 24 lines on reverse) of an early edition printed
in Holland; in a vellum wrapper lettered " Doctrinale . editio 32 lineis
impressa " 8. n. (Sec. XV) 400
The former owner considered that this fragment was printed " probably by
Lorenz Coster." Holtrop gives a facsimile of another single leaf of the same edition,
and includes it among his examples of the earliest incunabula of the Low Countries.

The fourth book printed with a date. The Mazarine Bible, the
two Psalters, and the Durandus which preceded it were produced at a
different press. That different press was in the ownership of Fust and
Schoeffer at the date of the Catholicon ; it had in 1454 passed out of
the hands of Gutenberg, who is believed to have started the rival office
from which emanated the dated Catholicon and three small undated
books. The above copy has an intitulation in MS. and similar manu-
script headings to the various sections. These additions are highly
interesting as the writing closely resembles the type of the book,
leading to the inference that the hand is that of Gutenberg.

was certainly used by a different printer, if also by Mentelin. See ante, note to

the author's two Epistles, which are described by De Bure and Brunet as found in a

in any other. The leaf 123 of the first issue ends with the word " societates," the
additional one ends with "rex."

This work, and that of Kekul6 above described, reveal a phase of Greek art
which had previously been almost unknown. The clay statuettes and groups of figures
recently found at Tanagra and elsewhere, are more important than the grand marble
sculptures which are familiar to all the world, because they show how the sense of grace
and beauty was fostered in the Greek people by the very cheapest and commonest of
their industrial arts.

engaged on typographical work in 1467. Although several works are printed in the

English musicians of his own time who were true masters of the science of harmony.

Duff's Early English Printing, a Portfolio of Fac-
similes, edited by E. GORDON DUFF, royal folio, £1. 5* 1893
In September will be ready this portfolio
of facsimiles illustrating the history of
Printing in England in the Fifteenth
Century.
Such a series of facsimiles has been edited
for the Low Countries by M. Holtrop, and
for France by M. Thierry-Poux, and the
chief issues of the presses of Germany and
Italy are now being illustrated in a work in
course of publication by Dr. Konrad Burger.
In England no attempt has yet been made
to do justice to the work of any printer
except Caxton, and the productions of the
presses at Oxford and St. Albans, and the
early books printed by Lettou and Mach-
linia, by Wynkyn de Worde, Pynson, and
Julian Notary, have been almost wholly
neglected. Thus, quite one-half of Mr.
Duff's book will coyer ground which may
almost be described as new, and even for
the more familiar books of Caxton, the
superiority of the collotype process in use
at the Clarendon Press over the older
methods of reproduction will make this
series of facsimiles indispensable to every
student of English printing in the fifteenth
century. The portfolio will contain about
forty plates, giving in all over sixty fac-
similes the exact size of the originals, and
in every case consisting of an entire page.
In these sixty facsimiles a specimen will be
shown of every type used in England before
1500 which has yet been discovered, and
reproductions will also be given of all the
printers' devices.
An introduction of about forty pages
(large folio) will be prefixed, containing an
account of the various types and tracing, as
far as possible, their origin, and the period
during which they were used. There will
also be short notices of the printers, giving
the facts necessary for understanding the
development of their work.
Three hundred copies will be printed for
sale. The price of the portfolio to sub-
scribers before publication will be 25s.

The request having been made by a
number of friends that this translation, &c.,
should be issued in a different form so as to
be a separate book, and Mr. Renonf having
kindly consented, it is proposed to issue a
1893
limited number of copies upon large paper,
in numbers at 5s each. Scholars desirous
of obtaining a copy should order at once, as
the price will be raised on the publication

print.
•' It will soon be six and thirty years
since a British force of 6500 men, of whom
twelve hundred were Europeans, after be-
sieging Delhi during four months, at last,
in September, '57, delivered a resolute
assault and fairly carried by hand-to-hand
fighting a fortified city defended by thirty
thousand mutineers and rebels. The ex-
ploit made at the time some noise in
the world, for in Europe and America,
as well as in Asia, the course of the
struggle had been watched with various
degrees of interest. To foreign nations it
was a political crisis which was to decide
whether or not the British could hold the
Asiatic Empire that they had won. To
Great Britain it was a period of the
keenest excitement and anxiety, for the
fate of her dominion in Upper India de-
pended for the moment upon the issue of a
daring and hazardous enterprise ; while the
lives of all the British folks in those parts
were certainly staked upon the result. And
throughout India a vast multitude, of well-
wishers and ill-wishers, was looking on
with that perplexing fear of change and
that intense expectation which oppress
a population abruptly startled by the
of
Calcutta, L893
momentous
neighbourhood
event.
"Mr. Forrest's book consists mainly of a
selection from the military archives of
those papers which exhibit clearly the
causes and circumstances of this extra-
ordinary revolt : showing how it began
with premonitory symptoms of mutiny
among the troops in Lower Bengal, seemed
for the moment to have subsided under
vigorous repression, but soon exploded
into murderous insurrection at Meerut and
Delhi. Then follow the official documents
recording in detail the vicissitudes of that
brief but fierce campaign which broke the
neck of rebellion by the storm of the
imperial city. To the student of Anglo-
Indian history, to all who love graphic
particulars of great transactions, to those
who desire to know not only what was
done but how it was done, these papers
will be very welcome and very interesting.
More : Mr. Forrest has given an intro-
duction, wherein the whole story is told in
clear and vivid style, accurately and com-
prehensively : with the sympathetic anima-
tion of one who describes a sharp and
stubborn contest, yet without the fervid
exuberance, whether of praise or of pathos,
that has been indulged in by certain (other-
wise excellent) writers upon the event." —

O'Neill's Night of the Gods, vol. i. royai
30,
"In strange contrast with Mr. Lang's
deft treatment of a topic which often lends
itself to wayward, and inconsequent specu-
lation is a huge volume, the first of a pair,
entitled THE NIGHT OF THE GODS, an
Inquiry into Cosmic and Cosmogonic
Mythology and Symbolism, by John
O'Neill (Quaritch). Surveying mythology
and symbolism from pole to pole, and
starting from the assumption that the
number is endless ' of human sacred ideas
founded in a supreme reverence for the
revolution of the universe round the axis
of the earth, for the Almighty Power that
accomplishes that stupendous All-contain-
ing motion,' Mr. O'Neill plunges into a
. cloth,
1893
bewildering maze of doubtful etymologies,
disputable analogies, and heterogeneous
mythologies, and founds thereupon a
theory that the assumed axial revolution
of the heavens is, so to speak, the true
' key to all the mythologies.' His specula-
tions are couched in a curious jargon of
his own, which prove him to be a master of
English and French slang, but sadly to
seek in the art of lucid exposition ; and on
the whole his book will seem to most
readers to be a monument of ill-directed
and imperfectly co-ordinated energy —
albeit, the product of much research and
the work of an ingenious mind." — The

The extraordinary value and importance
of this unique collection to all who are
engaged in genealogical research cannot
be too strongly insisted on. In the first
place, it is remarkable for its vast extent,
comprising, as it does, little short of a
hundred and twenty thousand separate
entries. Secondly, from the number of
distinct families to which these entries
refer, few searchers will turn to it in vain,
even after exhausting, to no purpose, the
ordinary printed sources of genealogical
information. Thirdly, they will find in it
not merely a name, but the age and birth-
place of the person who matriculates, with
the name and description of his father. It
is well known to genealogical students how
rare and difficult it is to obtain these
instructive particulars — and they lead us to
further information still, for they enable us
to turn with unerring accuracy to the
parish register, for which, without them,
we should probably have had to make a
long, and possibly fruitless, search.
No collections of genealogical materials
have been more coveted than these, and of
none will the appearance in print be more
warmly and widely welcomed, the more so
as there is known to have been little hope
that they would ever be given to the public.
Their interest to all classes of Society is
not easily realized, for few there are who
will not be able to point to the name of a
forefather or other relative in its pages,
while to others, so numerous are the names
of relatives to be recognized, that this
register could be taken as an index to many
a family picture gallery.
The
or, The Tale of Tales. Being a Translation
by the late Sir Richard Burton, K.C.M.G., of II Pentamerone ; overo lo
('unto de li Cunte, trattenemiento de li peccerille, of Giovanni Battista
Basile, Count of Torone (Grian Alessio Abbattutis).
The Pentamerone will be printed in the best manner, and handsomely bound
in the following forms : —
No. 1. An edition limited to 1,500 in two volumes, demy 8vo. £3. 3s.
No. 2. A large-paper edition on hand-made paper, of which 150 numbered
copies only will be printed, £5. 5* 1893
The Pentamerone is a collection of Fairy
Tales, arranged after the manner of
Boccaccio's Decamerone, but consisting of
fifty instead of one hundred tales. The
author, Giovanni Battista Basile, Count of
Torone (Gian Alessio Abbattutis), lived at
Naples in the seventeenth century, and
wrote in the Neapolitan, which, on account
of a large blending of Spanish, Greek, and
Arabic words, is probably the most difficult
and least known dialect in Italy. No com-
plete English translation has hitherto been
attempted, although, it may be said, the
late Mr. John Edward Taylor transformed,
but not without abridgment, some thirty of
the fifty tales into the English language for
the benefit of the Knglish student.
The Pentamerone is divided into sections
representing five days, upon each of which
days ten tales are related by separate nar-
rators, each of the days ending with an
eclogue in verse. Some controversy has
obtained as to whether Basile was the sole
author, or simply the compiler of these
wonderful tales ; but no doubt exists that
they comprise a very storehouse of wildly
fanciful creations, in which grotesque,
bizarre, and old-world humour character-
istically predominates. It is, indeed,
certain that most of the modern writers of
fairy tales, of all countries, are indebted in
no inconsiderable degree for their inspira-
tion to Basile's work.
The Pentamerone, translated direct from
the original by the late Sir Richard
Burton, constitutes a faithful rendering of
the whole of the fifty tales. It is dis-
tinguished by the conscientious work for
which Sir Richard Burton is justly cele-
brated : so that the book may claim to
rank as a rare and precious contribution to
the world's literature.
The Pentamerone will include a preface
by Lady Burton.
Prompt applications are solicited.

It has been universally accepted as the
Standard Edition of the Poet's works, and
in planning the proposed issue the pub-
lishers have had it in view to produce a
book which in mechanical production as
well as in the Text, shall be the handsomest
and best Edition procurable.

an arrangement which the publishers be-
lieve will commend iteelf to students and
amateurs. It will be printed on a fine
cream- white hand-made paper, and bound in
Irish linen. The impression will be limited to
five hundred copies, a considerable number
of which have been ordered for America.
It will be issued at the rate of two volumes
per month from October next. The price
will be 6s net per volume, but orders will
only be received for complete sets.
PRESS NOTICES.
Times.—" No more competent editor
could be found than Mr. Aldis Wright, and
there is no edition of Shakespeare in which
his ripe scholarship could be more profitably
exercised."
Cambridge Review. — " The CAMBRIDGE
SHAKESPEARE has for so long been in the
first class, if not at the head of Shake-
spearian literature, that all who are not
content with the smaller and necessarily
imperfect prints will welcome the new edi-
tion. The book is almost perfect, learned
without being pedantic, complete without
undue profusion. The printing and paper
are all that could be desired, and the notes
do not unduly intrude themselves."
Leeds Mercury. — " This is emphatically
the student's Shakespeare."
Illustrated LondonNews. — " This famous
work, which Mr. Aldis Wright and his
friends have made an absolute necessity
to every earnest student of Shakespeare's
text."
Glasgow Herald. — "It is as substantial
and serviceable as it is scholarly. It is no
exaggeration — indeed, it is but obvious
justice — to gay that the CAMBRIDGE
SHAKESPEARE is a work which should be
accessible in every public library, and with-
out which no Shakespeare student can
consider his equipment complete."
Scottish Leader. — " All that scholarship
can do for the text of Shakespeare is here.
The devout student will keep this edition
very close to his hand, for whether he reads
for pure imaginative delight or for the pur-
poses of the scholar, the Cambridge volumes
are the beau ideal."
Daily Chronicle. — " Were it for nothing
else than its wonderful display of what has
been done by successive workers since the
appearance of Rowe's edition in 1709, this
version of Shakespeare by the Cambridge
editor would be a unique and valuable
possession. It is impossible to bestow too
high praise on this classical edition of the
great playwright."
Speaker. — " An admirable student's book,
free from the mass of notes which encumber
Dalius's German edition, but containing all
that is necessary to the intelligent under-
standing of the text of the poet. ... It
is a book to have at hand, and often to take
down from the bookshelves."
Pall Mall Gazette. — " Thus revised and
enlarged, the CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE
becomes more valuable than it ever was
before ; and its j ust reputation up to the
present has been that of the best edition of
Shakespeare in existence."
Notes and Queries. — " The best and most
authoritative text of Shakespeare yet pro-
duced, or, indeed, likely to be produced.
No Shakespearian scholar since Dyce has
had sounder judgment or more unerring
instinct, while none has shown a finer
temper."
Lord TennySOn'S " Maud," to be printed by Mr. William
Morris, at the Kelmscott Press.
The book will be printed in the Golden Type, and bound in white vellum
with silk ties, in the style of the Kelmscott Press.
The Edition is limited to 500 copies, the price will be forty -two Shillings.
To be ready in November, 1893.

The Master Masons to the Crown of
Scotland, just published in Edinburgh,
gives a detailed account of the history of
the construction and erection of the Royal
Castles and Palaces of the House of Stuart,
introducing a great deal of original infor-
mation from ancient documents. As the
Athenaeum has observed : — "A special
feature is the publication, for the first
time, of the original drawings of Robert
Mylne, Master Mason to Charles II, for the
rebuilding of Holyrood Palace. The
architectural history of many churches,
bridges, and crosses in Scotland are also
illustrated, and the history of the Master
Masons and their descendants is carried
down to the death, in 1811, of another
Robert Mylne, the architect of Blackfriars'
Bridge in 1760."
The book is profusely illustrated, and
some of the plates are of very high artistic
merit, worthy of a place in the library of
connoisseurs. \Ve may mention the repro-
duction of Piromesi's engraving of Black-
friars' Bridge and the portrait of R. Mylne
